He was sick for a while. That dude did a lot for the automotive industry, an icon and he will always be remember.

Watch out, I see a hardcore Mustang "Carroll Shelby Edition" coming out within 18 months.

Another legend has left us. Carroll Shelby was synonymous with performance for 5 decades, and role model extraordinaire for those of us with a heavy right foot and gasoline coursing our veins. A gearhead's gearhead..... RIP Mr. Shelby....May you forever terrorize the streets of heaven. Tonight, I shall light 'em up in your honor....
